PARIS (Reuters) - More attacks on French soil are likely as France is engaged in a "war against Islamist ideology", its interior minister said on Friday.

A knife-wielding Tunisian man shouting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) beheaded a woman and killed two other people in a church in the French city of Nice on Thursday before being shot and taken away by police.
